When is Werner and David Attenborough gonna do a documentary together, co-narrating the whole thing. One focusing on the wonder and the other one on the agony..
I agree so much with Werner here, nature is magical to us at the top of the food chain. But on the lower rungs it is simply a struggle for survival filled with cruelty and desperation. A bird that does not sing cannot mate, a snake that does not squeeze a rat to death cannot eat. What is beautiful is natural selection at work.
+Krixooks Aye, but we need to remember we've created our own natural selection - society. Not to mention the vast amounts of humans that still live with and around nature. A lot of underdeveloped countries are like this. It's not just one big city out there!
+Lynne Parks "I've dwelled among the humans. Their entire culture is built around their penises. It's funny to say they are small, it's funny to say they are big. I've been at parties where humans have held bottles, pencils and thermoses in front of themselves and called out, 'Hey, look at me! I'm Mr. So-And-So Dick! I've got such-and-such for a penis!' I never saw it fail to get a laugh."
I couldn't help but break out laughing when he says he loves nature with that death glare. I find a lot of truth in Herzog's philosophies but I can't his deadpan intensity can be a little comical at times.
Sounds like the nihilistic anti-aesthetics of André Malraux. Art is the destructive act itself devoid of purpose, perspective and personhood. One paints on a canvas of corpses with the vitae of plants. The violin is dead trees glued together with dead animals. The annihilation that Lyotard found to be the sublime, a beauty in confronting the void. You're talking about an individual who went to participate in other countries' revolutions, not because he believed in them or believed in some kind of utopia rising from the blood-soaked soil, but because the act of the revolution was life itself.
A quote from Malraux's Antimémoires was included in the original 1997 English translation of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The quote, "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets". :}
Jesus Christ, as a painter and guitarist, you almost unlocked new anxiety for me. Luckily I don't think canvases are mode from corpses, at least not nowadays? I actually don't know...
For so long I have felt this way but I have struggled to articulate it. So often I find myself getting irrritated with people who see nature through this naive or rose tinted glass. Like the bears are their friends and the they're all good animals etc etc. Nature is a Godless abomination filled with monsters that want to rip you limb from limb. At the same time I do love nature, I thinks its beautiful. If I havent been into the wild for a long time I begin to feel restless and upset. At the same time I find it absolutely horrifying. People on the internet look at bears and think "awe its soo cute" I feel like theres something wrong with them. That thing looks at you and sees nothing but a bag of meat, your screams as you die probably make it excited in the way a dog rips apart a chew toy with more ferocity when it starts squeaking. That brutality is even coded in your dog. This man is finally someone I feel has properly articulated how I felt about this and Im so happy it exists.
Watch the beginning of The Thine Red Line. You see the vines wrapping themselves around the trees. "Look at this jungle. Look at those vines, the way they twine around the trees swallowing everything. Nature is cruel Staros." I think you will see that there is a sinister side to Malick's nature as well.
I find his view interesting, but I don't think I can fully agree. Nature may be filled with obscenity and murder but it above all (in my mind) it is lush with life. Everything is alive. The animals, insects and plants that die are always replaced by more life. Even in the harshest climates life fights the odds. Any kind of fixed paradise that removed competition from survival would have no differentiation between joy and suffering and could be said to hellish in its indifference instead.
What I never understood is WHY??? WHY the HELL did Hertzog and Kinski go back to shoot another movie in the Jungle? I promise we would all have the same idea of the jungle as Hertzog if we actually went there.
This is all true. He's just being honest. Nature is beautiful and ugly at the same time. We do ourselves a diservice not being conscious of both sides of the coin.
They would never get to bowl as they would be to o enamored by the wooden floor and the way nature has created the floor and how they would only bowl during the magic hour
Wow this man lol. There is no murder in nature. It's called the circle of life. All the hardships is just a fact of life for them and it becomes their only goal in life, and they consider themselves successful if they make it to maturity and give rise to offspring. Birds don't sing out of pain, this man just has a dark mindset.
his movies are good but his views here are only typical for someone with a western mindset who doesn't understand why things in the jungle are happening and how everything is connected. of course it's easier to say everything is cruel and senseless than looking closer at it and seeing the links.

@@pedstar1 I wish society had actual natural selection, bruh

@@emeraldcelestial1058 nah
@@zztoopie lol how does it not? Or does your natural selection come from throwing retarded babies into a pit when they are born? Lmfao

The Germans know how to have fun as always.
Of course. They take their fun very seriously.
😂
The final sentence is a magnificent conclusion.
He must be such a joy at parties
+Lynne Parks People like us would rather die horrible deaths than to attend parties.
I read that in his dead pan and heavily accented tone. Lol

He is alive because he wasn't a moron who thought he can be friends with a wild animal
Herzog has amazing stories so yes
His words are so haunting, chilling and scariest of all...true.
I couldn't help but break out laughing when he says he loves nature with that death glare. I find a lot of truth in Herzog's philosophies but I can't his deadpan intensity can be a little comical at times.
He'd be the first to agree

I live in the Brazilian Amazon. That man is a genius.
No, he understands it all very clearly. He sees it as a harmony. Just a discordant one.
I would like to see him and Terrence Malick talk about nature in a bowling match.
"I love it against my better judgment" - Werner is such a Mr Darcy.
My favorite is the intonation at 0:36 to 0:40. His deadpan is repressing the most hysterical emotion there. I fucking love him.
Mueeerdah.
Better horror vibes than most HORROR movies out there!
nature really helps in the exploration of the internal key that shifts how we perceive
His voice never changed...
Oh, wow. What we focus on grows.
When David Attenborough dies, we have Werner Herzog!!!!

You get that sense that he is joking and he probably is BUT he is serious also that what he says its true, kind of dark humor german style
nice
It's truly hard to ever find truly peace in LIFE!...If and when you do find that peace do not take it for granted!...
He ain't wrong
Excellent.
Very German description of the jungle
Oh god what a mood Werner 😂
well thats one way of looking at it...

I hope someone introduces him to the chill pill.

please, post Herzog's SPIEL IM SAND (alias GAME IN THE SAND alias GIOCO SULLA SABBIA)!
werner herzog is a hard man.
Love Herzog but who got here because of Full of Hell
This is all true. He's just being honest. Nature is beautiful and ugly at the same time. We do ourselves a diservice not being conscious of both sides of the coin.
